Pink and Black

'More of his Past'- Chapter 56

Pink's POV:

I know Penny and Edwin have been dating for a while and I know it's in our family tradition to not have kids of any sort until marriage, but what choice do I have but to ask, for Dante's sake. I look down at the time 7:37 PM. I'll text them but it's a little late to drop Dante off if they did agree. I thought as I sent Penny a quick text explaining the whole situation and what I wanted to be done if they would be okay with it, I sent the text and dished up dinner.

I placed Dante's plate on the counter. "Dante, dinners ready" I called softly. He quickly got up and looked in awe at the dish.

"What's the matter?" I smiled with a little giggle from how adorable he looked.

He looked so happy his eyes began to swell a little and eventually turning red with tears streaming from his face. "I-Is this for m-me?" He stuttered.

"Of course it's yours and after you eat it all up you can eat the rest of your candy bar and you can have a brownie with icecream after" I smiled not knowing he was crying. I knew it wasnt very healthy but the kid has went through a lot today so I thought it would be good to treat him. 

Hics came from him as he looked up at me with eyes red as strawberries and the biggest smile on his face that he could possibly do was plastered there with sheir happyness. I noticed this and crouched onto the floor to reach his level and held his hands. 

"Why are you crying?" I asked worried yet softly.

Dante gave a sniff and gave my the tightest hug ever with his arms around my kneck. This to me aback but I then  comforted the weeping child crying on my shoulder and picked him up patting his back.

"I-I've never had a-a propper m-meal befor-e" Dante managed to cry out through his tears.

While comforting Dante I heard the door behind me shut gently, I looked to see who it was and it was Rusty. I forgot he was out there  I thought a little guilty but Dante had all my attention at this moment. I turned to Rusty with Dante now calming down in my arms. I almost started to cry when I heard Dante say those fateful words 'I've never had a proper meal before' What sick person could do that to a seven year old? Let alone anyone. I mouthed to Rusty who was still standing at the door to get me somne tissues and so he did. 

I placed Dante down on the chair after he stopped crying and handed him his dinner. Rusty finally came downstairs with some tissue to give to Dante which Dante exepted. He thanked us both and eat his dinne rwith sparkles in his eyes. He must really like it  I though, No one can ever resist my pasta! I called Alex down for his dinner who actually suprisingly didn't question about the child at all and just gave the kid a smile and ate his dinner and went back up to his room for bed.

Dante had finished his dinner and desert and was resting on me as we watched a film. Rusty was on his favourite chair on his phone accoasionally looking up at the T.V to watch the film and me a little to see how I'm getting alone with Dante. Soon enough the film came close to an end and so did Dante's day as he drifted to sleep. I picked him up and carried him to my room gracfully with Rusty watching me walk upstairs giving me a sweet smile which I returned back. I woke Dante up a little while he was still half asleep and gave him a few old P.J's of Rusty's which I'm sure wouldn;t mind me giving to him. I turned around until Dante sleepily said he was done changing and fell asleep on my bed instantly. I tucked him in and gave him a hug goodnight, Kitty jumped in to cuddle him all night. 

"Goodnight Dante" I whispered as I closed my bedroom door. I hope Rusty wont mind if I sleep with him in the Void tonight...  I thought.

I walked downstairs and saw Rusty silent on his phone just scrolling through social media. 

"H-Hey, Rusty" I called to get his attention.

"Yeah?" He responed.

"Can I sleep with you in the Void tonight please ? Look I know we haven't been on good-" I was cut off by him.

"Yeah sure" He smiled once again sweetly.

"Let's go then" I responded smiling.
